As with most of the rogue countries in the world, there's no need to "nuke em". You can accomplish your ends by decapitating their government, and you won't have to deal with the by-products afterward.

Somalia hasn't had a functioning central government for 30 years. It seems to me the piracy is, in part, a by-product of this.

Which government do you propose we decapitate to fix this problem?

I was referring to North Korea. For Somalia, you gotta go after the warlords. Most of the smuggling is carried on by 3 of the clans, two of which are relatively nonviolent. The real thugs are all from one clan, the same clan that caused all the problems in "Blackhawk Down". You get rid of that crime family and Somalia can start on the road to being governable again.

Wasn't the US in Somolia years ago? I seem to remember the warlords killing a US soldier and dragging him around behind their jeep.

If the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, I guess you use a hammer to fix everything.

The fip side of that coin is, if you have a hammer, it makes no sense to attempt to drive a nail with a crescent wrench.

For those who forgot--or didn't learn--history, when the US-led Un troops appeared to be winning the war in Korea in the 1950's, China eagerly supplied "warm bodies" to fight for the communists. While we currently have a form of detente with China, I seriously doubt that Kim Jong Il is doing anything that his puppetmasters in Beijing don't allow him to do.

And this time, unlike the 1950's, the Chinese OWN us; they just haven't foreclosed and attempted a forced repossession yet. Should they choose to do so, there are more members of the Chinese military than there are citizens--legal OR illegal--of the United States.

The 2 trillion dollars (that right $2,000,000,000) of chinese investment in US Treasury bonds and elsehwere is good incentive for them to keep the peace in North Korea. If there were trouble, their investments would be gone.

And the Chinese are not interested in regime change in N. Korea. They don't want a common border with a democracy like S Korea.

China supplied troops in Korea as part of continueing revolution conflict against US who supplied Chiang and blocked Communist PLA from taking Taiwan by imposing US Navy between mainland and Taiwan. To Mao the Korean conflict was opportunity to hurt US in an area the PLA could get to by marching instead of trying to cross water while fighting US Navy, a flanking movement against what was percieved as an active enemy in the Chinese civil war. US speechs prior to North Korean attack indicated US didn't consider Korea part of US security line based in Japan. MacArthur made o few costly mistakes also besides the Dems reduction in Army strength.
Now China has a lot of government bonds but no toxic mortgage securities in investment portfolio- repossesion of politicians and government buildings might not be opposed by some posters here- think about how bad the politicians messed up economy while they were supposed to be watching wall street, anybody want to object to chinese repo man having to shoot wall street scam brokers to encourage repayment before chinese leave?
